We only wear 20% of our clothing 80% of the time. The rest we hang onto crying that we can someday wear it, fit into it, or it will be needed.

Mosquitoes have 47 teeth :eek:

Here's a good one for all of us who criticized the Octo-mom...

"In 17th century America, the average woman gave birth to 13 children"

Earl...not at the same time. :rolleyes: :p

Most of whom did not survive infancy. Disease and still birth was rampant then and the only birth control was breast feeding and "natural" method. The leading cause of death among colonial women was childbirth.

Add to that, many of the women bearing large broods were slave women exploited by their owners.

The brutal reality of then versus current science and the octo-mom is sooooooooooooooooooo unrelated, I scoff at thee. http://www.clipartof.com/images/thumbnail/728.gif

My great-great grandmother has 18 children. Five survived. My distant cousin has done a genealogy tree and has found 250 descendants spanning the globe. We are having the first ever "reunion" on 4th of July in Toronto.

Just imagine, one couple and so many children.

(Aarcyn, I got a site via Email & went & talked to several people. Most were far related to me. I did my tree back to 1630 Germany--my great great grandfather. They came to USA & settled in a town near me. When you think of it, USA is very young...a baby)

My Snapple cap today said.........

To keep an ice cream cone from dripping, stuff a miniature marshmallow into the bottom of the cone.

Naturally I had to try it out at the Dairy Queen. :D

Um, Thumper, honey, it's been years since I've seen one, but, aren't DQ cones flat and rather spongey/absorbent? Just trying to picture this marshmallow.:confused:

This may require additional studies from you.


Today I learned that medical waiting rooms/areas do not typically have wall clocks due to the necessary maintenance of them (batteries/Daylight Saving Time/climbing & cleaning). To appreciate the situation, imagine being the maintenance crew in a hospital, etc. Now imagine paying by the hour to have all of the clocks maintained.
